JERE898Please respect copyright.PENANAr0pH4azoLR
898Please respect copyright.PENANAqJaMTu30Ll
I stare down at his moon lit face, worried.898Please respect copyright.PENANAXbE9NaNbsR
He's shaking underneath my grasp.898Please respect copyright.PENANAwv2Qtxh4TM
898Please respect copyright.PENANA6butlyfCKJ
"Livia," he says. His voice is soft.898Please respect copyright.PENANAEvw2bxa1gf
898Please respect copyright.PENANAmfbrSqdby6
I run the palm of my hand down his cheek, feeling the cold tears that have managed to escape without me knowing.898Please respect copyright.PENANAefez5WIjGE
898Please respect copyright.PENANAKoC9L8lwMC
I smile bitterly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAKgW6ZAu12K
898Please respect copyright.PENANAP5NOtRYsxw
"It's alright now Jere." I kiss his eyelid lightly as more tears threatened to fall. I tasted the salt.898Please respect copyright.PENANAjNRl2ajsRF
898Please respect copyright.PENANAMcbzIJla0O
"Liv," he calls again, his voice wavering this time.898Please respect copyright.PENANAOtA5vt5N0D
898Please respect copyright.PENANASyTH7WmynM
I continue to stroke his cheek, trying to ignore the amount of blood coming from his side, where I press my free hand onto.898Please respect copyright.PENANAq5mXP4zzMF
898Please respect copyright.PENANAsfsB9V1T5z
"Just breathe Jere, are you still breathing? In and out just like I told you."898Please respect copyright.PENANAPRFuPN343L
898Please respect copyright.PENANA4kg2eBhz0j
He struggles to take staggering breaths, obeying me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAaFMMoZ38Gk
898Please respect copyright.PENANA4YLY3LgzD8
I look around, seeing if the ambulance had arrived yet. Faintly I heard sirens, but they still sounded far off.898Please respect copyright.PENANAYzGGtU8J6L
898Please respect copyright.PENANAfVNGb8PWSX
I allow myself to drop my calm charade and panic a little. Jere's forehead is beaded in sweat. The life in his eyes that once blazed brightly is now dark and sullen.898Please respect copyright.PENANAhO1EaZPIG2
898Please respect copyright.PENANASXj3CSiS5b
I'm scared of how his each breath seem to grow more difficult then the next.898Please respect copyright.PENANA8LuGI9OSOA
898Please respect copyright.PENANAUK9AfYfkik
I'm scared to look down at my bloodied hand, which determined his lifeline.898Please respect copyright.PENANAmQUA9aWN2I
898Please respect copyright.PENANA3movdXznbZ
I'm scared my Jere will drift off if I don't keep him awake.898Please respect copyright.PENANADqOL0KSkaM
898Please respect copyright.PENANAXMmb4MEwgT
I must at all cost keep him awake.898Please respect copyright.PENANAt267LQhmGH
898Please respect copyright.PENANAGBc1JUrHHY
"Livia, how long?" He manages to croak out. "How long do I have to wait?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAd1UUZxjGii
898Please respect copyright.PENANAvqOKRyC9fR
Feigning a smile I continue my charade.898Please respect copyright.PENANAc7IDIbFqFd
898Please respect copyright.PENANAmGoho7IcBU
"Not that long baby I promise."898Please respect copyright.PENANA0TiaxNUdnO
898Please respect copyright.PENANAgGZPIHkdoq
Any other human being would have passed out by now, unlike my Jere.898Please respect copyright.PENANA05OkFY511u
898Please respect copyright.PENANAFOHLl8QdPO
My Jere laughs, somehow managing the energy to do so.898Please respect copyright.PENANAwTbckCi7VP
898Please respect copyright.PENANAXRfPelb60c
He then breaks into coughing spasms from exerting himself too much.898Please respect copyright.PENANAsknOR5NHZ9
898Please respect copyright.PENANAHJmJCFOSSz
But he continues to laugh, not knowing how to stop.898Please respect copyright.PENANAqoWdPhFakk
898Please respect copyright.PENANAw7TXGHZpOM
"I'm going to die aren't I?" He laughs.898Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Vm1cSC56
898Please respect copyright.PENANAkevbb1lcsz
I frown at him.898Please respect copyright.PENANAcISxj1fpPZ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAowgtzwRCw6
"Don't say that."898Please respect copyright.PENANAVYfslFnvFQ
898Please respect copyright.PENANASsQfTYuAm6
He laughs hysterically now then coughs up blood in response.898Please respect copyright.PENANAsgtXGMVbms
898Please respect copyright.PENANAY3uIfb1HyF
I gasp.898Please respect copyright.PENANAd0LSpFM9wX
898Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0KFSaStzU
"Jere stop!"898Please respect copyright.PENANAYEfVncEwj9
898Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1J2a0ZX3F
He goes on.898Please respect copyright.PENANAPG73qCtALC
898Please respect copyright.PENANA96ficZLbeo
"I'm better off dead anyway. I've always wondered what it would be like." He says this all dream like, his eyes narrowing.898Please respect copyright.PENANAqF7YsblkcY
898Please respect copyright.PENANAcuBAwHM0NQ
Forgetting all about being calm, tears stream down my face, as I yell at him frustratingly.898Please respect copyright.PENANA1pkZRgvjcL
898Please respect copyright.PENANAURrEOQ0wg3
"Jere stop it you're not going to die! I won't let you!"898Please respect copyright.PENANAEmoLsf2O1D
898Please respect copyright.PENANA4Jwhk1s4Hu
Jere chuckles a little but his eyes don't. He stares up at me bitterly and reaches to brush away my tears.898Please respect copyright.PENANA4yhHqJoJcZ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAjpWRx7DC0q
"Don't laugh." I tell him again softly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAxPkM4h4oqo
898Please respect copyright.PENANApuHDiOJKNK
"I won't."898Please respect copyright.PENANALLPyapuT4J
898Please respect copyright.PENANAeYZESPEUjb
He obeys, watching me soberly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAe2E2TzLfsx
898Please respect copyright.PENANAZBlXf68ykE
"I don't want to leave you." Jere says in a barely audible voice.898Please respect copyright.PENANANpNtCEw5az
898Please respect copyright.PENANAAzkLZmf1uV
All the laughing has put him in an even worse condition than before.898Please respect copyright.PENANARCUFxArweQ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAi3oqBSL5I4
I don't even try to hide my distress face from him anymore.898Please respect copyright.PENANAcUsWSIcUYi
Specks of blood covers his daunt face from his coughing spasms earlier.898Please respect copyright.PENANAvogVRZnIwi
898Please respect copyright.PENANAmxBisGKJb8
His already weak body sinks heavily into me while I try to keep him comfortable.898Please respect copyright.PENANAtQxJrU1NkA
898Please respect copyright.PENANAlTuPNTat51
"Livia. I don't want you to leave me," he says a bit louder.898Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Taas6hzJ
898Please respect copyright.PENANA96cjj9vLRf
"Shhh I know baby, just don't leave me okay?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAOC68ABxE8d
898Please respect copyright.PENANA3jMYNbaTAl
He tries to nod but he can't.898Please respect copyright.PENANAebgtLW9cfy
He continues to try but I hold him steady so he wouldn't overdo himself again.898Please respect copyright.PENANASVBuYBlBdA
898Please respect copyright.PENANAMsFOAtcQbI
I look into those beautiful, moss green eyes that I love so much.898Please respect copyright.PENANAlCYsuH2c8m
898Please respect copyright.PENANA20p79FHCXH
He looks up into mine.898Please respect copyright.PENANAwytTFOgmrH
898Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Rd8c738b
"Don't leave me." He whispers.898Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWA9F5lCS
898Please respect copyright.PENANAl8BrHGd7nl
"Stay awake." I tell him.898Please respect copyright.PENANALSFTkhJidy
898Please respect copyright.PENANA2R6WiOH3gr
"I'm tired, how long?" He asks.898Please respect copyright.PENANAEWBJkj9MIM
898Please respect copyright.PENANAJlALpWMIdD
The siren lights are visible now. They'll be here in any moment.898Please respect copyright.PENANABMvb7to8QQ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAdG2KgQmohd
"You're almost there baby, just hang on okay?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAZqvgFtm3Z6
898Please respect copyright.PENANAyrbnXBoaMl
He doesn't reply.898Please respect copyright.PENANAcPhqN8RZPB
898Please respect copyright.PENANAamdPNw4Bwn
I hurriedly check if he's still breathing. It's shallow now, faint.898Please respect copyright.PENANAt9wWS5UX0w
898Please respect copyright.PENANAXT7mybyMfm
Looking at him, I lay my hand on his cheek again and gently swipe my thumb across it. His eyes are nearly closed.898Please respect copyright.PENANAca3vI14Gms
898Please respect copyright.PENANAsER118Q9m9
"Jere, answer me. Jere!"898Please respect copyright.PENANAb9I5W9HbTg
898Please respect copyright.PENANAfv4j0QXBLb
His eyes open slightly at the desperation in my voice, ready to obey but unable to find the energy to comply.898Please respect copyright.PENANAu57eNqZf1N
898Please respect copyright.PENANAgOTWtvZAmO
"Stay awake." I told him softly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAGz7gW61aym
898Please respect copyright.PENANAfYQCQIzoJl
"I will." His mouth reads, but he closes his eyes anyway. He's smiles briefly as I struggled to see through my tears.898Please respect copyright.PENANA03DW0C06oU
898Please respect copyright.PENANAolX4qYfXhI
"Kiss," he whispers inaudibly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAsfQaLBqLle
898Please respect copyright.PENANA3xK5QjMsfB
I shake my head not knowing whether to laugh at his corniness right now or cry.898Please respect copyright.PENANAZibn89zwDV
898Please respect copyright.PENANAT8YZJ3ZUCj
"Kiss me," he repeats.898Please respect copyright.PENANANi68OW8TGe
898Please respect copyright.PENANAzmR3iddgLg
I don't waste time, I need to keep him awake until the ambulance gets here.898Please respect copyright.PENANAfOMtXDeNN7
898Please respect copyright.PENANAwjx4ekCuAM
With one hand still holding his wound, I use my free hand to cradle his face.898Please respect copyright.PENANArwC5LkwuZW
898Please respect copyright.PENANALhXxMwhF5I
His eyes open briefly before I dropped my lips down on his.898Please respect copyright.PENANAfjvfh47KUq
898Please respect copyright.PENANArJWsJzPbWx
I kiss him gently, ignoring the metallic taste of blood.898Please respect copyright.PENANA5g5VHsvjlR
898Please respect copyright.PENANA4JszbfvwE3
Using energy I didn't believe was still in him, he wraps one arm around me and deepens the kiss.898Please respect copyright.PENANAmajVR7npoZ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAaiySEFMnfn
He passionately draws me in, almost making me forget that he was still in pain for a second.898Please respect copyright.PENANANY1kc7BwwE
898Please respect copyright.PENANAdQTB84BiFu
Electricity races through me and lingers.898Please respect copyright.PENANAsldxQVfjLJ
898Please respect copyright.PENANAdef9hIQyn3
I cling to him for dear life, knowing that I can never let go.898Please respect copyright.PENANAoZB69t62As
898Please respect copyright.PENANADAPZFYCAWw
But reality hits me hard when his tug on my lips slows.898Please respect copyright.PENANARN6k1WwAYS
898Please respect copyright.PENANAkxgfmfyrSD
I can literally feel all the energy drain out of him as we break apart.898Please respect copyright.PENANAcT1VKw6gOY
898Please respect copyright.PENANAOO3CJ54pxG
He suddenly goes limp in my arms.898Please respect copyright.PENANAe0HbwHxRym
898Please respect copyright.PENANAwim2a08tiB
"Jere?" I call to him as my eyes widened.898Please respect copyright.PENANAVsui5U72oS
898Please respect copyright.PENANALf3iZMyX1t
"Jeremy?"898Please respect copyright.PENANALi2MxdihMR
898Please respect copyright.PENANAVPvWA5J9hu
I shake my head, not believing.898Please respect copyright.PENANASDIzhcNKik
898Please respect copyright.PENANAuJGSGEygIt
"Jere, talk to me, Jere?"898Please respect copyright.PENANAgRgOuRr8ha
898Please respect copyright.PENANAYRZmrrAaSi
Soon the ambulance pulls up in front of me in mass heaps.898Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ5DC4GxIa
898Please respect copyright.PENANAvQR6BOQ8zE
The siren noises was deafening, but I was too numb all over to hear, or feel what was going on around me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAvClM3yA0uH
898Please respect copyright.PENANAOiWtrQhwKx
I have no chance to react before Jeremy's limp body is taken away from me. 898Please respect copyright.PENANA9iXLhEuwnf
